The exact strength of the government in the
new Reichstag will not be known until one or

some members of the Center party who opposed
the septennate in the old Rechstag. and who
have been converted by the counsels of the Vati-
can will pe returned to the new Rechstag, but
how many is not yet known
A leafet recently issued by the new German
Liberals stated that the question of peace OF
war did not depend upon whether the peace ef-
fective was fixed for three for seven years
The Legnitzer Zeitung referred the statemsn mt
to Count Won Moltke, who telegraphed the toll
lowing reply:
'The peace effective is certainly the same,
whether it be sanctioned for seven OF for three
years. But as regards the war strength, the
former term gives more than double the num-
ber of trained reserves as compared with the
shorter period. With the army there must be
permanency. 1t cannot be remodeed every
three years in conformity with parliamentary
Osolutions."
The National Zetung says that a number of
French Socialist societies have addressed mani
festo to their partisans in Germany thus inter
ferng with the electoral struggle; and further,
that some lodges of American knights of Labor
have issued manifesto and forwarded contri-
buttons to German Socialists-a fact affording
fresh evidence that the charter of Social Democ-
racy. if not national, is International
In Strasbnrg. Kahle Centerist received s, 253
and Petrie $685. Nachapple returns a Centerist
and Nuremberg returns Socialist.
An analysis of the polling shows that to-day's
contest was very stubborn. AS the night ad-
vanced the excitement became intense. Thou
sands of people surrounded the newspaper Offices

stated that Singer and Hansclever have each
| over 900 majority in this city.

polls in battalions. Two Socialists are returned
| for Breslau Richter Is returned for Hagen.
| Prince Bismarck on appearing at his polling
